And she will need a lot of people to show up today, as we discussed, Steve, because early voter turnout is...
has been the highest in Virginia since in any other non-presidential election year.
Obviously, there's a huge turnout when we have presidential elections.
Last year, Virginia was the fourth highest voter turnout, always a possible red or blue state.
Governor Glenn Youngkin has been wildly popular here, but for some reason that number, his high approval ratings of 50 percent and above, have not translated to early predictions for Winsome Earl Sears.
With 1.4 million votes being cast in early voting, 300,000 more than the last gubernatorial election.
You have to wonder which of these women will become the first female governor in the state of Virginia.
I actually have a source in the Spanberger campaign saying they're actually very concerned about southwest Virginia.
All of the early voting turnout really focused.
I mean, not all of the votes, but much of it was in northern Virginia, which has been known to be a bit purple and or certifiably blue.
So southwest Virginia, a lot of those districts have been slow to report when some Earl Sears will for sure need help.
a large turnout today because, as you mentioned, yes, that's been an 8-point, 10-point swing for her.
But I think the attorney general race is going to be very interesting because, as you mentioned, those texts by Jay Jones, it was a bit of an uproar where I live in Northern Virginia when those were released.
about three weeks ago, very graphic.
These were not just casual, hey, I'm making some jokes with my friends.
These were very violent text messages that Jay Jones sent three years ago.
And Abigail Spanberger did not condemn those, right?
And she just didn't have much of a messaging there.
She had Barack Obama campaigning for her this weekend.
President Trump sent out a call and said we need to really support our candidates the other night.
